The Hive Collective, 750 E Spring Street, Cookeville, TN | Cookeville, TN
Ecstatic Dance is a freestyle dance that allows for the freedom to express our most authentic Self through dance in a judgment free zone. No partner or dance experience necessary. Light instruction will be given before the dance begins.
What to expect: The dance is done in a softly lit room to music thatβs a blend of tribal/electronic/disco/funk/afro dance beats from around the world.
In order to create a sacred space for each person to drop into the experience, we ask that everyone arrive on time & honor each other with NO talking during the dance.
In order to make it a wonderful experience for all, we ask that everyone dress modestly, wear natural deodorant (we tend to get sweaty) & practice consensual space (being aware of the personal boundaries of others).
Drinks: we will have a non-alcoholic botanical bar set up serving @kava_koncoctions. These plant based drinks are known for their ability to promote relaxation and focus; a perfect compliment to dancing. Kocktails: $5
Cover: $20 (pay at door)

βIn many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: βWhen did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop being comforted by the sweet territory of silence?β ~ Gabrielle Roth
